Scientific paper
Numerical studies, performed with the Monte-Carlo code FIDO [1], of the evolution of the resonant-ion distribution function in the presence of ICRH in toroidal geometry are presented. In particular it is pointed out how the absorption of toroidal momentum from a wave field with finite parallel wave numbers causes spatial drift and diffusion, which together with the finite orbit widths of the tail ions is shown to have a large effect on the temperature profile of the resonant ion species and also to cause losses of high-energy ions to the wall [2]. Furthermore, it is found that the finite orbit width and the inward drift occuring for negative parallel wave numbers [3] each give rise to a new mechanism of minority-ion cyclotron current drive as compared to earlier models where the drift orbits of the resonant ions are confined to the magnetic flux surfaces. For high levels of coupled power these new mechanisms are found to be the dominating ones [4,5].
